Hey /o/ I need a new car that will be comfy to fit in. I'm 6'3" and don't feel like driving a tiny car and being cramped.
Some Criteria I want but don't necessarily need:
>Comfy for commuting
>Good on Gas (30+ mpg)
>$10-20k range is what im going for but less is fine
>Not RWD, where I live it gets bad in the winter
>Hatchback a plus but a sedan is fine
>No SUV or Pickups
>Im cool with New/Used/Certified
>Not going to lease

The Nissan Cube has the most headroom that I've seen. I sell cars for a living and have found tall people liked the extra vertical space.

Including myself, I've had 5 people in the car at one time. Obviously the person behind had a bit less space but it wasn't bad and I'm 2 inches taller than you. Also, I bought this MS3 a few months back for $19k w/ 25k miles so its within your budget, albeit towards the top end.
>>
>>15518839
It's not going to get 30+ mpg, but at 6'2 and 280#, I liked the 2011 Ford Fusion Sport (AWD).

Otherwise, a 2008-2011 BMW 535xi wagon will fit in that price range, and come in about 27MPG on the freeway.

Get a turbo one. You'll be amazed at the room inside one. Jeremy Clarkson is 6'5. With the seat all the way back, he couldn't reach the pedals, and with the seat raised all the way, he still had plenty of room for a tall hat

I've had no problem and I'm 6'4".
>>

Im 6'4" and I will say this: you're looking for a unicorn.

Any car thats sufficiently comfy for a 6'3" dude, is AWD, and a sedan that gets 30+MPG is not going to be under 20k. Infact i don't even know if that exists in any car. You're going to have to pick a few.

I'd recommend a BMW 3 series AWD coupe, but Im not sure what the MPG is on the 328xi, not 30 though.
>>
>>15519617
Is there a picture of Clarkson wearing a tall hat in a turbo beetle
>>
Just saying OP if the car has good weight distribution, or ideally weight biased towards the rear, then a rwd car can handle snow no problem. Just look at baja beetles and the dumb crap they can go through. Not saying get one, but snow tires and sand bags in the trunk are your friend.

>>15518919
I got a friend that use a miata as a winter beater the summer he use a ms3. In residential areas you sometime end up with a relatively thick layer a super slippy compacted snow that wont get removed for a while.
>>
>>15519617
I'm 6'5 and I drive a bug. Can confirm I fit in it better than most cars
>>
OP here, while I did state all those criteria I did say it wasn't necessary. Also, not a cuck, just need a comfortable car to commute with that won't leave me broke and would like it to be decent with gas since I do have to commute with it. If It isn't rwd that's great since I already have a rwd car
>>
>>15519780
This. A fucking civic.
>>
Volvo
6ft4 and volvos are the comfiest cars i've been in, probs because it's actually designed for tall men (something that nips don't have)

Also had no problems in a few golfs, surprisingly enough

OP, you can get a CPO stick Mazda3 hatch for 13-14.5k base. It fit me with extra space (6'2"), gave room in the back seat, is FWD but fun to drive, and Mazdas are the most reliable used cars you can buy, reporting the fewest problems on average per vehicle.

Don't get a Fiesta. They are reporting to be less an less reliable as time goes on, though it's not so bad if you can work a stick. The auto transmissions on Fiestas are a mess.

Honda Fits hold their value well, but I found it uninspiring to drive. Give it a shot though, you might click with it.

I own a Chevy Sonic and love it. More room than the Fiesta and safest in its class. Works great for my family. Hatch versions are very spacious, but not as cavernous as the Fit.

There's a lot of good options out there, but based on your needs, in descending order for price:
Mazda3
Honda Fit
Chevy Sonic

I got my Sonic new for 12.7k OTD 2 months ago. Finance rates are great now as well. If your credit is better than 700 don't settle for more than 2% new or 4% used.

A lot of the prior posts in this thread are just parroting memes, plus it's the Chan, so take it all with a grain of salt. Focus on what you need, test drive these cars, and don't get emotionally attached.

Also, we got our new Kia Soul for 13.2k sticker and it hauls everything well with tons of room, so take that for what it's worth.

Because it's not a Daewoo, the old Aveo was. The Sonic shares 0 parts with the old Aveo, is built in America, updated by Korea, and has a German platform.

I owned a 2006 Aveo, didn't hate it, but the Sonic is a completely different story. It's not perfect, but I enjoy it immensely.

>>15521157
I'd recommend a 6th gen civic, I have a coupe and still have plenty of headroom at 6'4

also never gotten below 32 mpg and have gotten upwards of 40mpg with the 5 spd

I have similar requirements. Need something for college with a 6k budget. Prius honestly seems like a good option. Seems large enough with the back seats folded to where i can sleep in it on road trips.

Used Pontiac. G5 or G6 are both comfy and spacious. I'm 6' 3" and have no issues driving them. Don't think they will get 30+ MPG but hey, they're FWD and you could get one certified.

>>15523017
Scooter. Though a bicycle might be better, especially if you're on campus.

The G5 is not a G6. The G5 is LITERALLY a Chevrolet Cobalt with a Pontiac grille stuck on the front.
Meanwhile, the G6 is based on the Chevrolet Malibu.
>>
>>15523075
So?
>>
>>15523082
one or the other. Either suggest a Cobalt/Ion/G5, or a G6/Malibu/9-3
>>
>>15523110
Are you ESL or purposely being retarded? You do realize someone could mention two cars that they have owned or driven right?
>>
>>15523145
I HATE when people lump the G5 and G6 together when they share nothing but an engine on 4 cylinder models.

5'5" Dodge Challenger plenty of room

I have a CRX that I had the replace the seats with the first gen integras
I fit pretty well now

>>15523063
Scooter would be an option, but i often need to transport largish items and travel about 20k mi a year so no go for that.

>>15519612

1998 camry le

my hair brushes the roof 24/7, camry isn't gr8 for tall people.

>>15523886
I had a Chevy Equinox that was amazing at 6'4 and I transported stuff to and back from school. I recommend both generations

>>15523017
Don't get a fucking prius, asshole.
>>
>>15523886
Literally any sedan that isn't a piece of shit. Depending on actual size of the objects in question you could use a truck but good luck finding decent ones for under 6k (dependent on area).

I don't own one but when I went to test drive an IS300 I was able to sit behind myself, and I'm 6'3. Obviously wasn't very comfortable and I could barely get my fatass in it, but I could manage it in a pinch

This, I have one, and this shit is great on the front seats, I'm 6'7" and I rarely feel as comfortable as I feel on this car
>>
>>15524304
What's wrong with a Prius? Ill get something more fun once i finish school and get a decent place to work/live. People seem to hate them but i cant see why. Im not insecure, so i dont need a huge truck to compensate
>>
>>15530819
This. A prius has become this symbol of a walking vagina and such but really, it's a decent car that gets amazing mileage. You can argue an old shitbox could get the same mpg but it probably won't have the same features, safety, or comfort as a prius
